Good point.  The Circuit Cellar version was pretty limited.  There were a
few others I looked at.  I dug through around six different implementations.
Most were half baked; other's needed some major re-work.

For the amount of time it would require me to massage the free code; it was
cheaper to just pay the $150, and spend a couple hours porting.  I get
documentation, some assurance on quality, and support I can delegate a bug
to.

Like I said, I think it's worth a look.
